The owner and winemaker, Paolo Montioni, and his wife met us upon our arrival with warm welcomes and gave us a quick tour of their olive harvesting and olive oil production. We lucked out to be here during their olive oil season. We then started a private wine tasting with Paolo to taste 5 of his wines and 2 olive oils on toasted breads (bruschetta). It was only €10! He was such a great host! Nothing beats having the owner and winemaker lead these wine tastings. It was informal and fun. He even made lunch reservations for us at a nearby restaurant. And lunch at the restaurant he booked us in was fantastic too! We all loved his wines and ended up ordering 6 cases to be shipped home. 🤪
What a wonderful experience! Thank you Jessica for a fantastic tour of this beautiful winery. My wife and I loved learning about how the Montioni family developed their family business and the story behind the wines and oil they make. Jessica spoke with great passion and in excellent English of their production process. The wines and the oils we tried were incredible and we couldn’t leave without taking a few bottles home. I definitely recommend the Ma.Gia with its lovely flavour and history and the Passito red dessert wine which is quite unique and delicious. Thank you Montioni and Jessica for a truly wonderful afternoon! Cannot recommend this enough.
Truly an amazing experience! Jessica, our host speaks fluent English, is very knowledgeable, and made the entire experience a lot of fun. We toured the vineyards and olive groves, the wine cellar, and the olive oil production. All of that was followed by the wine and olive oil tasting paired with delicious food. Very well worth our time and highly recommended.
We had a great day at the winery. Our experience started with the owner giving us a tour of the different locations they grow the grapes and the olives. The scenery was beautiful and we learnt about the local grapes and olives. We also got to see how the wine is made. Afterwards we had an amazing four course meal with five types of wine to pair it with. The hosts were very friendly and knowledgeable and our group of 9 people was very happy we chose this vineyard to visit. I can definitely recommend it to anyone who is in the region and would like a unique local experience.
We fell in love with the Black Label wine. Dry just the way I like it. Liked it so much bought a case. Easy for them to ship it. Multi Generational family run business. Absolutely perfect tasting. I found a new ATF wine!!
Absolutely incredible winery! We have visited many wineries across Tuscany but Montioni was so personal and the service, wines, and tour were amazing! We had a five course lunch that was delicious meats, pasta, and a savory pork. All prepared on site by family, it had a great touch. The wine is so smooth and some of the best I have had from the region. Prices are unbeatable and it truly is a great buy. Highly recommend their location, tour, and wines!!!
Magnificent winery with very tasteful wines and very friendly and helpful staff ! We visited the winery in June 2020, during the corona crisis, but this was not a problem! The lady of the house gave us a lot of explanation and we could taste all the wines they are producing. The wines are delicious! We really recommend to pay a visit to this winery if you are in the region!
Great experience! Absolutely recommended. The tour, the organization, the lunch (they say it's a light lunch, but believe me it's not 😁), the wines. So if you are in Umbria looking for an authentic experience don't hesitate to stop by.

We had an incredible experience with Alessandro for our private winetasting and tour. He was so knowledgeable and personable about the winery history and process, that we will be ordering by the case and savoring every sip now that we know the painstaking process. What a great day and experience! Very nice people, excellent view, beautiful winery, and excellent wine! A must-see! Thank you, Alessandro!!
Fabulous experience, our tasting was led by Giordanna - very knowledgeable and friendly. Would highly recommend, wines are also fantastic (bought some bottles to take home). It is also a cool tasting room 👍🏻
Amazing aft with wine making process & history and the tasting. A must place to visit. Thanks to all ❤️
Great wines! Best in Umbria region
🍷 Arnaldo Caprai – Where Legacy Meets the Future, One Glass at a Time In a region overflowing with wine and pride, Arnaldo Caprai stands apart — not because they shout the loudest, but because every drop whispers excellence. We arrived and were immediately greeted by Lorenzo — not just a guide, but a charismatic storyteller with the wine wisdom of a sommelier and the charm of someone who actually cares. He welcomed us with a refreshing sparkling rosé and cool water — a small gesture, but one that already placed this visit in a different league. From there, we walked among the vines where the mighty Sagrantino grape thrives. Lorenzo didn’t just share facts — he shared reverence. The history, the research, the innovation. You don’t just taste the grape at Caprai. You feel its roots. Inside the facility, the contrast between red and white wine production was explained with precision. Then we descended into the cellar — a cathedral of French oak barrels — where Lorenzo revealed Caprai’s most unique collaboration: a pioneering method co-developed with Michel Rolland, the world-renowned oenologist and maître à penser of global winemaking. Born in Libourne, France, Rolland brings centuries of tradition into every barrel, and that partnership is felt in every drop. Then came the tasting: five glasses pre-set like an invitation to joy — one white, three reds, and a sweet dessert wine. Lorenzo guided us through each one with authority and delight. Not just a tasting, but a narrative. Not just flavours, but philosophy. We left with eight bottles and that rare feeling of having experienced something alive. Caprai may produce over a million bottles a year, but there is nothing industrial about what they do. It’s legacy in motion. Land in dialogue. Sagrantino, evolving. Founded in 1971 by the now 93-year-old patriarch — who still checks in — the estate is now steered by his children, combining tradition with momentum. 68% of the wine remains in Italy. The rest finds its way into 38 countries — and into the hearts of people who still believe wine is a story, not a SKU. Verdict: Arnaldo Caprai is proof that great wine doesn’t just age — it transcends. A brilliant vineyard. A gracious host. And a masterclass in how legacy tastes.
Very large visiting center and a large winery. Friendly staff and good experience
Very nice experience! Would recommend.
Fabulous experience, our tasting was led by Giordanna - very knowledgeable and friendly.

We loved this museum and church and we were surprised by how much we enjoyed it. The paintings and frescoes were beautiful and the special exhibit was extraordinary making it well worth the 10 euro price of admission. It just kept going and going and going.
San Francesco Museum in Montefalco is a captivating journey through history, showcasing rich cultural heritage. Visitors explore centuries-old artifacts and artworks, gaining insight into the region's past. A must-visit for history buffs and those seeking a deeper understanding of Montefalco's cultural significance ⭐️
We are so fortunate to be surrounded by such extraordinary art and the museum in Montefalco is quite magnificent, the fresco cycles are worth visiting central italy for alone. Not to be missed.
Very nice small collection of artworks alongside the overwhelmingly impressive frescoes by Benozzo Gozzoli, Perugino, Tiberio d'Assisi and others in the former church.
Wonderful frescoes and painted figures, and even a Perugino. Went back again to get best value from my reusable ticket (check if available).
Lovely setting good food. Very central. Need a car to take full advantage of area
San Francesco is a former Roman Catholic church. It has museums displaying fresccoes.
Lovely little museum in Montefalco, beautifully maintained, religious artwork, tombs, and church

The perfect way to enjoy a “truffle hunt” while living high in the Umbrian hills in a tiny village with a family that runs the lodge. Francesca and Mac are both amazing - great hosts, guides and give you an insight into their lifestyle. Not to be missed.
The truffle hunting experience is perfect. Francesca and her family are very friendly, so are the dogs and cats. We love everything about this ancient village where they produce their own olive oil, cheese, fresh pasta, prosciutto which taste so good with fresh truffles. We will definitely come back again for the good people, truffles and food.
Our experience here was great! We accompanied them on a truffle hunt outside, but you don’t have to do any of the work because the dogs find and dig up the truffles. It is a really cool process to see regardless! Then, we picnicked eggs with the truffles we just found, wine, and homemade pecorino cheese. Afterwards, we headed back to the house where we sampled cured meats, more wine, and bruschetta. Francesca made pasta from scratch with truffle sauce, it was delicious! The pasta was followed with a meat course, coffee, and tiramisu. I would recommend a visit here for a great Umbrian experience!
One of the most amazing days we had spent on our month in Umbria. We had a driver from Spello to take us to Pettino and I'm glad we did -- it is quite the incredible ride up into the mountains. We were greeted with an espresso upon arrival at the farm, where we met the family. Loading into 4WD vehicle we followed Luca and his truffle hunting dogs up the mountainside, where they were let loose to hunt for the elusive truffles. The day was picture perfect. The views over the mountain side were breathtaking. Those industrious pups found truffles! We were then taken over the field where the sheet are herded, where Luca made us eggs with the truffles on a gas stove on his tailgate and all paired with Prosecco. Back at the farm we were treated to home cured meats, olive oil and wine, all while Francesca exhibited her pasta making skills. Lunch was in a lovely profession kitchen, consisting of the pasta and truffles (of course), followed by grilled fennel, pork and lamb. All accompanied by their wine! We finished up the meal with a tiramisu. It is a beautiful place and it will forever be in our memories.
An incredible experience, authentic and well run by knowledgeable and very friendly owners. Words will not do it justice: It gives you a real insight into the truffle industry You taste fresh truffle, retrieved before your very eyes The food and drinks offered are delicious, fresh and could be served in a five star restaurant! The group size is max 16 - plenty of new friends to be made! Well worth taking the day to really soak up the experience
Wow. What an experience. Simultaneously expert and knowledgeable in the world of luxurious truffles, whilst at the same time unbelievably humble and down to earth. This was everything we hoped it would be and more. A brilliant time truffle hunting, followed up by multiple courses of gorgeous food, all in the best company of our hosts and guides. As good an experience as we've ever had on holiday.
100% recommended! We actually arranged our trip to Italy around the availability of the truffle hunt here, but later got a bit nervous that this was a bit too expensive. We went anyway and were totally blown away by the family that let us share a bit of their lives. The day starts with coffee and a chance to get to know each other. Then off in the trucks to the higher woods and fields with the dogs. The dogs (well, maybe half of them) walk with us to to the various oak trees and find truffles under the soil. When they deliver these to the handlers, they are rewarded with a biscuit. This was fascinating to watch. (The other half of the dogs just did dog things). After we collected enough, we drove to a high plain where we cooked and ate eggs with the truffles and drank a bit too much prosecco. The local sheep (and wolf hounds) joined us for a fun time in the sun. Back in the little village, we were served unlimited wine, bruchette, and sliced meats. They made pasta from scratch, and then we were served an amazing late lunch with wild boar. The conversations were real, we made good friends, and would definitely recommend this as a highlight of any trip. (We took too many pics - sorry!).
This is a must do if you are in the area. Luca, Mac, Daniel, and Francesca were all great hosts and we had fun talking with them. Do come hungry because there is a lot food to be eaten. This was the highlight of our 10 day trip in Italy and we will be back again when we come back to Umbria one day.

The wine tasting was excellent as was the bruschetta that they provided, just a simple grilled bread with their olive oil. The wine that we tried were diverse and there were choices at several price points. We ended up bringing 8 bottles home
Our wine group is enjoying a 1 week stay in this region, and came to Antonelli for a cooking lesson followed by lunch with wine tasting. Our fabulous teacher Wendy Aulsebrook was a natural teacher with an effervescent and welcoming personality. Originally from Australia, she had that charming Down Under manner which is so engaging. We made fresh pasta, completely by hand, foccacia, roasted vegetables and Umbrian cookies. The wines were excellent, and very affordable. I have enjoyed many cooking lessons over the years, but this was definitely a topper. I highly encourage a visit to this excellent winery and take a lesson with Wendy ! Your heart and your stomach will thank you.
Took a private group cooking lesson & wine tour with Wendy (there were 12 of us). The cooking lesson/lunch was a fun and educational experience and I'm a professionally trained chef who gives cooking lessons herself! Wendy is very well informed and she has her pulse on every detail about this winery, this region and the kitchen. The wines are very good and the tour was good. Highly recommended! Beautiful setting overlooking the vineyards and countryside.
We booked a truffle hunt, cooking class, and wine tasting with Wendy. The experience exceeded our expectations! Wendy and her assistant, Nicoletta, welcomed us into their kitchen and walked us step by step through the process of preparing traditional Umbrian dishes. Wendy’s teaching style is one of patience and encouragement. We enjoyed the fruits of our labor paired with Antonelli wines at lunchtime. We highly recommend this experience!
I am only reviewing the winery as we didn't stay there. Beautiful building with a stunning view. The wine tasting was stingy and expensive compared to others in the area. The red wines are nothing to write home about. The white wines on the other hand were excellent. Their Vigna Tonda is the best dry white wine I've ever had. Lovely color, great nose and flavor. I am drinking it now...
My family and I recently had the pleasure of visiting Antonelli San Marco whilst traveling through Montefalco, and we were absolutely thrilled with our experience. From start to finish, it was a day to remember.
The winery tour was exceptional. Our tour guide Wendy provided us with a fascinating insight into the winemaking process as well as the region itself. She was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about their craft, making the tour engaging and informative for all of us.

What truly stole the show was the phenomenal Umbrian lunch served during the tasting. The gourmet spread paired perfectly with the wines we sampled, creating an exquisite gastronomic experience. Each dish was carefully crafted and bursting with flavours that complemented the wines beautifully. They went above and beyond, ensuring that our group of 13 people were taken care of and even provided a special gluten-free menu for my sister who has dietary restrictions. The ambiance of the winery was also charming, with picturesque vineyard views adding to the overall experience. We left Antonelli San Marco with full hearts and satisfied palates, eager to return for another unforgettable visit. Highly recommended for wine enthusiasts and anyone seeking a delightful culinary adventure!
Professional, friendly,this is a very high quality Montefalco' s winery!!one of the oldest in the area with a very high quality standard of all its wines that I have tasted!! Thank you!!
Beautiful winery with delicious wines!

The winemaker's nice wife Moira led the private wine tasting for our group. She did a great job and was very patient with us. We never felt rushed and she answered all our questions. We had a €20 tasting of 4 wines. A white wine, a rosso, a sagrantino, and a dessert wine. It also came with their olive oil on toasted bread (bruschetta), a assortment of salami and cheese plate, and almond biscotti biscuits for desserts. Their wines were good but unfortunately this wine tasting was in the afternoon after we've visited another winery and had a huge lunch with more wines. I think we were wined out.
Lovely small winery with great wine and olive oil. The host is very kind and warm. Their single variety olive oil is very tasty, aromatic with a peppery finish. The Sagrantino wine is also very decent. We were charmed by their family dog who is very cute and well-behaved. Price was reasonable for the superb quality.
Wine tasting very professionally done by the host family. Super views from the estate over the valley below
Lovely venue for wine & food pairing! Make sure to book ahead of time!
Go to this beautiful place. The view of the Umbrian Valley is unmatched. The family, 3 generations now, is lovely. Gentile, and generous while teaching about wine. And best of all the wines are wonderful! Everyone is delicious. Hardworking artists of wine, oil, honey and land. Go see the Romanelli!
Family run vineyard with views to draw you in and wine to make you stay. Friendly and passionate about biological/organic farming. Delicious but also fantastic value wines. Must visit.
The visit to this vineyard was one of our favorite experiences during our recent trip to Umbria in Italy. The vistas from this farm alone are worth a stop, but there was so much more. (They also have a wine shop in town.) We received a pleasant walking tour of the farm by Moira, who was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We got to meet three generations of Romanellis, though we heard there are still five generations. They all made us feel quite welcome. The wines, olive oil, meats, bread and cheeses were the high point, and we lugged a fair amount of their products with us around Italy in our suitcases for the remaining week of our trip - worth it! If they serve you some lard (fat-ta) on a piece of toasted bread - don't hesitate; Try it, you'll like it! I will definitely look to return here someday if at all possible.
Small production of Sagrantino with very high standards. Great selection and competent owner. Prices are little bit above the average for the region
